There's a number of us in downtown Philly. I'm probably the only one among the number on here though.

where in downtown ?

Posted by phillyflipper on 03-11-07 12:44 AM:

Well, does anyone want to set up a meet and greet, or are we just taking a poll????

Posted by phillyflipper on 03-11-07 12:59 AM:

I am in East Lansdowne if anyone wants to meet

Posted by InvertedChance on 03-11-07 04:51 AM:

We're at 18th and Market; across from the Exchange.

Posted by swinger on 03-11-07 05:07 AM:

I'm in Ambler. I would definitely like to chat with other traders in the area. We should set something up.

I'll be at 16th and Market next week ; pm me if you are interested to meet

Posted by vertigo3 on 03-11-07 12:14 PM:

It might be beneficial if everyone posted what they trade.
I only trade e-mini index futures, no stocks.

Posted by giles117 on 03-11-07 02:27 PM:

Ag Futures, Stocks, Dow Mini

Bala Cynwyd (just west of the city) -- I trade crude, currency, index, and ag futures. I would be interested in getting a group together for drinks or a card night (poker, spades) every couple of weeks.

Any other interest out there?

Posted by giles117 on 03-20-07 12:36 AM:

Bala. Nice area. Not much of a drinker or poker player, but hey I am all for a local trader get together....

The city is relatively central. Alternatively, there are two people close to the airport and one in Media, so somewhere down there would work too. It's only 20 minutes for me, and swinger can come straight down the blue route. Everywhere down here is a hike from Yardley.

Let's have votes for weeknight versus weekend and downtown versus Media.

I don't have a location preference, but I enjoy getting into the city (although I don't know restaurants/bars in Philly very well, so someone else can suggest a place).

Posted by phillyflipper on 03-20-07 01:25 PM:

Parking could be a problem in the City. Let me know.

Ron

I agree with you about the parking. Is that a vote for Media? That's fine with me.

Can you, giles, or syswizard suggest a good location in or around Media/So. Del. County?

Posted by giles117 on 03-20-07 03:08 PM:

Anywhere on B-More Pike near 476 is fine with me.....

Posted by phillyflipper on 03-20-07 03:36 PM:

you have Nifty Fiftys on corner of McDade and 476

Posted by syswizard on 03-20-07 04:05 PM:

Media has many great spots.....Iron Hill Brewery is nice....spacious and great beer ! State Street - just above Baltimore Pike. I'd say it's 5 minutes from the Blue Route Media exit. Parking is decent...better than Center City !

This week is hectic for me. Except for Tues. any night next week 8:30p or later would be fine, or I could meet earlier on Sun. or Thurs. (6:30 or 7:00).

Posted by syswizard on 03-20-07 05:32 PM:

Best way to do this is to put up another thread with a VOTE on the date/time (if the location is already agreed-upon).

Another Thread!!!! Bah.... Just do a poll, cant we add a poll to this thread... Lets select some nice reasonable date/time combinations and vote on them.....

Ex Monday 3/25-7pm.

Lets pick 6 combinations and vote......

Personally it doesn't matter to me... Anyday But the 30th is fine. and anytime after 5pm is fine for me anyday.....(other than the 30th. LOL)

I must sincerely apologize. I had in my date book 7:30 So of course I arrived at 7:30. Nevertheless, my wife and I enjoyed a splendid taste of Nachos.

And some nice trivial pursuit. LOL.

Scanned back up the thread and noticed we all agreed upon 8:30.

Well perhaps next time I'll get the time right. Hope you guys had fun.

Anything in/near or South of Center City works for me. I havnt done Penns Landing in (wow) 4 years. Not since I toured there with an Old School group.

Of course my wife and I eat a Vegan Diet, so if they have Veg friendly food, I am totally game.

No bottom feeders for me... LOL

Quote from marketsurfer:

Well, let’s see if we can find the answer to this using some surf-anti-trend-logic…

Judging by the fact that I have attended the last three or so events with you, one may have an inclination of whether I will attend, correct? But according to surf logic, trends don’t exist, i.e. you can look at the past and determine trends but the trends have no predictive value to the future. So, if you believe in trends, then yes, I will be attending, but if you do not then you must adjust your system to consider: what will she do next…?

Manayunk!

Would be a great idea....however, I was there 2 weeks ago:
1) took 15 minutes to get into Manayunk from the expressway
2) took 20 minutes to find some parking.

And that was a weekday night !
I can't imagine a Friday or Saturday night...it's gotta be nuts then.

Hi, guys. I'm going to try to be there, but I can't say for sure. Sounds like it will be a good time.

Regards,

Hard to believe we can't get more traders than this from this metro area.

Jim,

Any outside bar is sounding good right now. Will it have enough room to hold all of us?

Thanks for asking. Those are the only two Fridays already booked. Outside chance could make it on the 24th, but it's a long shot.

Posted by jbingo on 08-28-07 03:26 AM:

Okay, what looks good in September? How's a Wed. night sound? I'm not sure about Fridays yet. 7th is good so far.

Mainline, non-professional here. I would love to meet some people. When and where is the Sept meeting?

Posted by jbingo on 08-28-07 06:47 PM:

We're working on Sept. 5th, Rock Lobster, Columbus Blvd. Probably 8:00 range. How say ye?

Posted by syswizard on 08-28-07 10:39 PM:

Hopefully, Surf's got some YM short, so he'll be buying the lobsters at the Rock Lobster !

Why Rock Lobster?

Posted by syswizard on 09-06-07 12:29 AM:

We can't seem to get things going....it's a shame.
Everyone should be doing well with these great market moves.

(unless, of course, you are on the wrong side and forgot your stops !)

Trading in Philly area??

Hello, I am new to the forum and wanted to get some feedback from traders in the Philly area. I will be relocating back to Philly currently live in Michigan and was wondering what options does a trader have in Philly? I am planning on pursuing a local assistant trading program or a technical trading position. I graduated college in 06' and worked at SEI for a year and had the opportunity to start my trading career for a mutual fund. I feel like I have found a career that I love and want to progress my skills as a trader and learn as much as I can in the process. I eventually want to work on a trading desk, prefer equities or commodities/ anywhere I can fit in. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Posted by FBW on 03-25-08 09:30 PM:

Welcome Flyers08.

There are many firms that can handle your needs. Some are located in non-downtown areas like SEI is; Vanguard, SIG, Trust Companies and Hedge Funds. Good luck with your search.

I am waiting to hear back from SEI for an internship this summer.

Send me a PM, when you are in town.

Posted by syswizard on 03-26-08 01:18 AM:

Ask for Peter at http://www.keystonetradinggroup.com
They plan on opening a Philly office soon.
